Ruby McGregor-Smith, Chief Executive of MITIE, said: “I am delighted with the progress of these five MITIE businesses which have contributed to the growth of the group. We see a significant opportunity for the MITIE model to support our aspirations for growth and we hope that more entrepreneurs will join us to grow similarly successful businesses.”
